Terminator

Terminator, multiple terminals in one window.

The goal of this project is to produce a useful tool for arranging terminals. It is inspired by programs such as gnome-multi-term, quadkonsole, etc. in that the main focus is arranging terminals in grids (tabs is the most common default method, which Terminator also supports).

"""
dump_to_file.py - Terminator Plugin to save text content of individual terminals to ~/.terminator directory.
Does not need annoying explicit starting of logging like the official "logger" plugin, but will also save only
data thats currently in the scrollback buffer.(so better increase the default buffer size - Preferences->Profiles->Scrolling)
